SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AROUND PARKING LOTS OR STUCK IN TRAFFIC GOING SLOW AND HAVING TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FREQUENTLY THE PEDAL WILL GO VERY HARD AND TAKES BOTH FEET TO PRESS DOWN ON IT AND BASICALLY HAVE NO BRAKES. I HAVE I TO PULL OVER OR STOP AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND SIT FOR A MIN THEN RESTART AND I GET MY BRAKES BACK. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IN TO THE SHOP YET CAUSE I'M OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY

SERVICE BRAKES
REOCCURRING BRAKING PROBLEMS AT LOW SPEEDS WHENEVER PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE IN QUICK SUCCESSION (IE BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARDER/STIFFER TO PRESS AND APPLIES LITTLE TO NO BRAKE WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS BRAKING PROBLEM AT LOW SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT AS WELL AS TURNING. THE VEHICLE ALSO MAKE A SOUND AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING. NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THE BRAKING. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 50K MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO BOUGHT FROM A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALER

STEERING
2-4' PLAY INTERMITTENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, TRUCK IMMEDIATELY GOES TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT AT SPEEDS 30 MPH UP TO 65MPH. THIS HAPPEN DOWN A HIGHWAY AND ON ROADWAYS WHICH AT 30 MPH THE TRUCK VEERED LEFT INTO THE OTHER LANE WITH ANOTHER CAR COMING TOWARDS ME, CAR SWERVED TO MISS ME PREVENTING A HEAD ON HEAD COLLUSION. TRUCK HAS 35,500 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I DO HOPE A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION HAPPENS PRIOR TO SOMEONE HAVING TO DYE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVEING THE VEHICAL PULLING A BOAT ON A TRAILER COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN, I THEN WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULDNT STOP. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING IM NOT SURE SHE WOULD HAVE HAD THE STREGTH TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND STOP THE TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE VACUMM PUMP HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE ALONG WITH THE VACUMM HOSES AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER WANTED 1400.00 TO REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS ON A TWO YEAR OLD TRUCK. I REPLACED ALL THE COMPONENTS WITH FACTORY PARTS.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR HAD CRACKED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. IM SURE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. TRUCK IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 50K MILES. FAIR TO HAVE TO PAY A $1,000+ FOR GMS NEGLECT? PLEASE STEP IN HERE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT BY THIS. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND CLEARLY IT WARRANTS ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ENGINE
THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YRS OLD WITH ONLY 23671 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. P050D CODE AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO DOWN SHIFT HARD AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. DEALER SAID THERE WAS CARBON BUILD UP ON CYLINDER 1 VALVES THAT CAUSED THEM TO STICK AND A MISFIRE. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT CYLINDERS 1-4-6-7 ARE THE CYLINDERS THAT SHUT DOWN FOR AFM ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHEN IT GOES INTO V4 MODE. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED. SAID IT WAS POOR FUEL. SAID I NEED TO RUN TOP TIER DETERGENT FROM SELECT GAS STATIONS. THAT IS THE FIRST TIME ANYONE HAS TOLD ME THIS. THAT'S NOT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND NO ONE TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO USE SPECIAL GAS STATIONS WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. I THEN TOLD HIM THE TWO STATIONS I USE ARE MOBIL AND SUNOCO. BOTH OF WHICH ARE ON THE TOP TIER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR LIST. INTERESTING FACT: TOP TIER FUELS IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF GENERAL MOTORS. THEY FAILED TO MENTION THAT WHEN THEY TOLD ME ABOUT MY "POOR FUEL" WHICH IS APPARENTLY A LICENSED GM PRODUCT. I WAS TOLD IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AS IT WOULD LIKELY BE OUTSIDE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD (36 MOS). APPARENTLY THE FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN? FOUND NOTHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOT SURPRISED. LAST NEW CHEVROLET I WILL EVER BUY.

BRAKES BARELY WORK AT LOW SPEED AND REQUIRE A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. NEARLY BACKED MY TRUCK INTO A LAKE WHILE BACKING DOWN A BOAT LAUNCH. VERY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE SO MAY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THE NHTSA HAS BEEN "INVESTIGATING" IT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE?

SERVICE BRAKES
ON THE DATE CITED, I WAS BACKING UP A TRAILER DOWN A HILL SLOWLY. HAD RELEASED THE BRAKES THEN REAPPLIED AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. MANUALLY APPLIED FULL STRENGTH TRAILER BRAKES AND THE TRAILER HELPED STOP THE TRUCK. 3 DAYS LATER (5/30/19) I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR INCIDENT. I WAS PARKED, PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE ACCIDENTALLY AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE AGAIN QUICKLY TO SWITCH TO REVERSE, THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF. NEARLY HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. PUT INTO REVERSE AND NO ISSUE. AT NO POINT WAS A "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE DISPLAYED AS NOTED IN A 'SPECIAL WARRANTY' LETTER RECEIVED FROM GM IN THE MAIL BETWEEN THE INCIDENTS. NO OTHER ERROR CODES OR MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED. 2 YEARS AGO AFTER HAVING TOWED A TRAILER, THE MESSAGE "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN ONCE, THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER PULLED CODES AND DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIR.

APRIL 2019 LETTER FROM GM SAYING MY BRAKES COULD POSSIBLY LOOSE THEIR VACUUM ASSIST. THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS I HAVE PROBLEMS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS AND 72,000. WHAT A COP OUT, WHAT IF MY BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY IN A TIGHT STOPPING SITUATION? I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE LETTER, PLEASE DO NOT LET GM PLAY WITH OUR SAFETY ON A $52,000 VEHICLE OR ANY VEHICLE.
